Key result
A novel orthomyxovirus, C/swine/Oklahoma/1334/2011, was isolated from pigs and found to share approximately 50% amino acid identity with human influenza C viruses, representing a potential new subtype.
Population
15-week old swine exhibiting influenza-like illness, ferrets, cell cultures, and serum samples

Warrants expanded swine influenza surveillance; leaves open zoonotic transmission and reassortment risks of this potential new subtype.
The isolation of a novel influenza C-like virus from swine that can transmit in ferrets highlights a potential new subtype with zoonotic and reassortment potential.
Hause et al. (2013) studied Swine influenza. C/swine/Oklahoma/1334/2011 (C/OK) virus vs. Human influenza C virus was evaluated on Viral isolation and genetic characterization. A novel orthomyxovirus, C/swine/Oklahoma/1334/2011, was isolated from pigs and found to share approximately 50% amino acid identity with human influenza C viruses, representing a potential new subtype.
